LONDON SEED TRADE, 
August 5 tli, 1885. 
Messrs. Hurst & Son, 39, Seed Market, Mark Lane 
and 152, Houndsditch, report no new feature at to¬ 
day’s market. Absence of rain prevents the usua- 
demand for Trifolium, &c., but prices all round con¬ 
tinue firm. New Eape, being very cheap and of satis¬ 
factory quality, is in moderate request; Mustard also 
meets a steady sale; Clovers are unchanged; New 
English Italian Eye Grass is offering, but prices are 
not fixed. No change in value of Bird Seeds.
